Inspiration for Today And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.—St. Luke, 21:34. eee The temperate are the most truly luxurious. By abstaining from most things, it is surprising how many things we enjoy.—Simms, 1 | ] | | There Will Be No Hurry Lest there be any misunderstanding, it should be said here and now that President Roosevelt will be in no hurry to allot the bulk of the huge work relief fund voted by congress. Announcement that a billion already has been tentatively parceled out is no indication that the remaining $38,800,000,000 will be distrib- uted in the near future. The reasons for this are many but not least among them is the fact that the distribu- tion of this money constitutes a splendid club for use by the president in dealing with con- gress and the senate. Many controversial matters still are pend- ing in the upper chamber of the national legis- Jature and on some of them the president has expressed strong convictions, The senate has proved itself unwilling to go along with the president on many issues. It has procrastinated, probably hoping that there would be sufficient crystallization of public sentiment to mark a safe political course for its members. Instead its course has produced confusion twice confounded and the entire pro- gram has bogged down. To obtain action the president needs a whip. He must have some spur with which to drive the senate to action. The public works money will be effective for that purpose. It may be unfair to say that the president will apportion those funds on the basis of how congressmen and senators vote but he would be more than human if he did not take that into consideration. To do otherwise would be po- litically foolish and no one has ever accused Mr. Roosevelt of being that. Incidentally, with a share in the works fund at stake, it puts every senator up against the ‘proposition of having to be sure his course is sound before he opposes the president. North Dakota, for example, would not care to be de- | | l \ prived of its fair share of this money by the | j - crime, says Cleveland physicisn. trom committing captiousness or prejudice of its congressional representation. ~ Indications now are that this session of con- gress will last until July, perhaps even farther into the summer. Until it adjourns there will be a minimum of allotments from the big fund but weecan confidently count on a burst of ac- tivity immediately thereafter. Students at Work The young man who works his way through college is apt to be a much better student than the one whose parents pay his way. This is the conclusion to be drawn from @ survey just completed at the University of South- @rn California by Dr. Frank C. Touton, the ‘university's vice president, The survey compared the scholastic records of stu- @ents participating in the federal government's program of part-time jobs for college undergraduates with those ‘whose expenses were being met by their Parents, and it found that the former group ranked higher in classroom marks, displayed a greater earnestness of purpose and, in general, seemed to be getting more out of college. life, This isn’t hard to understand. The lad whose col- lege expenses are paid for him can easily fall into the motion that college is just a pleasant and diverting lark. {The one who is earning his way by the sweat of his brow knows what he is in college for, and does his best to make it worth the effort it is costing him, ! Good Old Uncle Sam! During the last two or three years, there has been’ an active and vocal party in Puerto Rico calling for mee. Recently, U. 8. Senators Millard E. Tyd- {ngs and William H.

Hush on Work-Relief Events Won't Halt Flood of Stories. . . . Tipster Hunts Bring Many Unjust Accusations. Washington, May 18.—The squeamishness of New Dealers as to tinauthorized news ought not to be overs looked by those correspondents who used to remark upon Mr. Hoover's petulance when things he didn’t like ap- peared in the newspapers. There is still great oontrast with the Coolidge ad- ministration, in which officials took their cue from their president, who simply refused to read unfavorable articles about himself. Various types of censorship exist in the many fed- eral bureaus and agencies. None of them works. And sometimes when they fail to work in @ conspicuous manner, a stray paragraph of “inside” news can upset @ high official and his whole organization for days. Few New Dealers realize even yet that a secret shared by 15 or 20 subordinates isn't a secret at all. New leaks lead to frequent, absurd, and futile hunts for culprits in which everybody accuses everybody else and nobody appreciates that there were perhaps dozens of possible channels of information. rears A BIG JOB OF MUZZLING Currently, Mr. Roosevelt seeks to route all publicity on the huge work-relief program through Frank Walker at the National Emergency Council. This means an ef- fort to muzzle about 60 federal agencies charged with carrying out the prograip. The object is laudable. There will be so much bickering and bureaucratic jealousy as the money is dished out that a bad effect will be created if something isn’t done to partially stifle its articulation. F. D. wants no repetitions of the public row between Secretary Ickes and Housing Administrator Moffett over housing and he faces the prospect: of a whole crop of such outbursts. (Incidentally, the break between Ickes and Hi has been steadily widening as it appeared that the Ickes position in the program would be a distinctly subordinate one.) The public doesn’t react well in these cases—as the White House learned recently, after two cabinet members had made speeches expressing sharply opposing views in a certain western city—and the Republicans take ad- vantage of them, eee THERE'LL BE LEAKS But unless the Secret Service is enormously aug- mented or a lot of newspapermen are tossed into con- centration camps, there will be no lack of unauthorized news as to the work-relief program. Hopkins and Ickes have become close-mouthed at their once popular press conferences, referring questions to Walker. But Walker, though able and well-liked, is commonly regarded as jawed clam. And newspapermen are no more willing to give up their news sources in those 60 agencies than most of- ficials are willing to give up the privilege of saying “don’t quote me on this, but—.” There will be no end of heebie-jeebies, private in- vestigations, and angry explosions as news leaks out. cee RICHBERG TEARS HAIR Donald Richberg has been known to dictate three pages of single-spaced anger to @ correspondent on the basis of a mere paragraph or two which told of a rela- tively inconsequential report made to him—which hadn’t been formally released for publication, And there was plenty of fuss as to how the leak had occurred, though persons in half a dozen agencies knew all about it. “You've shaken the pillars of this building!” exclaim- ed an NRA official to a newspaperman who had written about the internal troubles of the National Industry Re- covery Board, which then revolved around Chairman Clay Williams. It seemed NRA wheels hadn't revolved for two or three days (that was at a time when NRA wheels still revolved) while the board jittered over the story and a testimonial was prepared in which all board members were expected to declare their faith in Williams. . The testimonial idea was dropped as one or two members came to realize that it was rather silly. cee AAA HAS ITS GRIEF The Interior Department stood on its ear for days after the news leaked that White House pressure had been directed against two favorite Ickes subordinates, Ebert K. Burlew and Louis Glavis. Great efforts were made to find the tipster and sev- eral innocent persons were accused, There have been periodic commotions in the AAA, too, as stories appeared which indicated large concessions by the Chester Davis administration to the food indus- tries. Censorship efforts at AAA persist. All of which may suggest to you the falsity of stories that the huge corps of New Deal press agents manage ‘successfully to suppress the news. It tries.

We may or may not agree with them, half-brother to the clamp- o OLITICS - at the - NATION'S CAPITOL By HERBERT PLUMMER Washington —Newspapermen who’ sat in the press conference of Sena- tor Joe Robinson immediately follow- ing the Democratic caucus on NRA were struck by his emphasis on the desirability of speeding up adjourn- ment of the present congress. He gave this as one of the principal reasons the caucus voted to support the Clark resolution to extend NRA for only 10 months more against the president’s wishes for an extension of two years: “We considered the necessity of speeding up the work of the senate,” said the majority leader. “There was unanimous concurrence that all ¢co- operate insofar as they were able to that end.” ‘ While the congested condition of the senate calendar is a matter of the greatest concern to the deaders, there’s another reason they are anxi- ous to speed up business and bring the session to a conclusion. They don’t say much abvut it publicly, but Frivately they'll discuss it with can- dor. * ek x Senatorial Run-Ins Storm warnings have been posted forecasting exceedingly rough weath- er ahead, There have been several instances to indicate that senatorial nerves are becoming ragged. The run-in Tydings of Maryland had with Huey Long on the latter's typical. There have been few sena- tors who at one time or another have not been aggravated by Long, but Tydings is the first to tell the “king- fish” on the floor that he would start something someday which he wouldn't be able to settle vocally. (Incidentally, Tydings toned down his outburst for the Record. His re- marks in that colloquy appear: “He (Long) must not say those things, or It is gratifying to note that Mr. Langer endorses the opinion expressed by The Herald that there is noth- ing in the present situation to demand or justify a movement for the recall of Acting Governor Welford, and that such a movement is unwise and inexpedient. This is the more interesting because last winter, when the question of Mr. Moodie’s eligibility was under dis- cussion, Mr. Langer was quoted as saying that whether Moodie or Welford were seated, a recall election was certain, Apparently he felt certain that if Welford were seated, those who had supported Moodie would attempt & recall, and that similar steps would be taken by those of his own faction if Moodie should be declared eligible. At that time Mr. Langer seemed to take it for granted that one faction or the other would be certain to seek vengeance through the instrumentality of the recall, and he had no words of counsel against # course which he now condemns. At that time The Herald advised against recall against whichever man might be seated, in the abeence of some act which would justify such a drastic remedy. Apparently Mr. Langer is making pregress to- ward a liberal and tolerant attitude. : Let Aviation Help (Chicago Tribune) Industrial history points straight and true to a single avenue of escape from depressions—more work. A new development appears upon the horizon to push the mechanism of commerce off dead center. Witness the automotive and radio industries of the past decade that through their appeal to the public treated both mass production and mass purchases. Perhaps the way out of the present impasse will not be through a single innovation, but a combination of several. Air condi- tioning has made some headway and the partial motor- ization of our railways through the adoption of light weight Diesel driven trains ig another possibility.

Austin of Vermont accused the vet- eran Nebraska. senator of personally insuliing him, an unusual charge to be heard on the senate floor. ee ® Real Explosion Long’s encounter with M ir of Tennessee over the Farley resolution may be cited as an illustration. Mc- Kellar, charged Long with not being able to “recognize a fact if he saw it in the middle of the road.” The prolonged filibusters such as that on the anti-lynching bill, stir- ring up as this particular one did the deepes feeling on both sides; the veritable avalanche of telegrams and communications which have all but engulfed them; the consciousness that they are hopelessly bogged down with legislation—all have contributed to the present state of mind of senators.

F.AMA. ordinary diet of all classes of American people whether urban is likely to be poor, The best food sources of calcium (and phosphorus which is nearly al- ways associated with it) are dairy products, greens and fresh vegetables. These are also among the best sources of vitamins. But in preparation, Preservation or sterilization of such foods vitamins are destroyed or discarded and sometimes most of the calcium and other mineral elements may be removed in the process. Just for instance, crude brown sugar contains 200 times as much calcium as refined white sugar does. And the original sugar Cagney or maple sap contains vita- mins which are destroyed or removed in artificial source, impart which carries it process of manufacture. Vitamins are essential for the normal metabolism of calcium, its proper assimilation and use in the body. Not alone in the prevention and cure of rickets by vitamin D, but in scores of health disturbances which, at pres- ly the ultraviolet rays of sunshine or from an the vitamin D influence to a substance in the skin the circulation. So exposure of the naked skin to sunlight or to the rays of an ultraviolet lamp, promotes better calcium metabolism. Aside from rickets, there are many borderline or vague states of below Par condition, less of pep, general weakness and lack of “resistance” due to faulty calcium metabolism. Individuals subject to such ailments as hives (urticaria), giant hives (antioneurotic edema), hay fever, asthma, » may obtain much relief migraine, by taking ten grains of calcium lactate (or calcium gluconate) three times daily, in water sweetened and flavored with fruit juice, after meals, for a course of two or three months twice in the year, and by taking fish liver oil or other carrier of vitamin D to supplement the diet and by exposing ,|the skin to ultraviolet to promote calctum utilization in the body. Calcium enters into the formation of muscles, nerves and the cells or tissues of many organs, as well as bones and teeth. It is essential for coagulation of blood. When calcium content of the blood is low, tetany, a kind of prolonged spasm of muscles of the limbs occurs. Probably a cal- cium deficiency is concerned in many spasmodic or spastic conditions. An intravenous injection of calcium chloride or calcium lactate is the best remedy for severe colic such as that of gallstone or lead colic. These are just a few of the significant facts of nutrition. We have many more in stock, but it is just as well not to tell you laymen too much— you'll begin to think you know as much as a doctor does, and heaven knows you're hard enough to handle when you don’t know too much. ek * Representative Caroline York, * * ok guilty of big novelist.

He thrust these things in his own pockets, nodded to Millicent. “You and Norman come with me.” he said. Sergeant Mahoney wasted 10 time on the elevator. He took to| the stairs. Millicent and Norman followed him. Once in his car, they heard the scream of the siren as the car tore through the streets. Sergeant Mahoney skidded around a corner, slammed on brakes. i “This 1s Dick Gentry’s apart: ment,” Norman Happ said. “Exactly,” Mahoney told bim. “Your father wasn't kidnaped by force. Gentry could have lured him to his apartment. We'll see what we can discover.” He fitted a key into s lock and opened ® door, switched on lights and ran across the room. Jarvis Happ. apparently lifeless, lay sprawled on a bed. Sergeant Mahoney leaned over him, put an ear to the man’s chest. Sergeant Mahoney got to his feet, strode to the telephone, jerked the receiver from its hook, said, “Police| headquarters.” While he waited for connection, he turned to Norman Happ end saic, “He's alive, but drugged.

Running without lghts, he was vainly tried to lure Millicent. So Vera Duchene telephoned to you.
